Very sad hearing about Carolyn's passing and being childhood friends with Nancy I almost can't remember a time when Carolyn wasn't part of our lives. My prayers go out to Kerry, Nancy and the entire family and I ask the Lord to hold you close to Him so that you feel His love and peace during this most difficult time.

Carolyn was my dearest friend in high school. I have great memories of those years, doing what typical teenagers do.
Walking to the swimming pool at the Boys Club, walking to the Rialto theatre on Main st. - THEN we go our first cars !! A VW
"beetle" for her, & a Chevy Corvair for me ! Those memories are how I will remember her .
